I had been to Washington several times, but this was my first time staying for the weekend to sightsee. I chose the Grand Hyatt based on its location, website, and price. The location is absolutely perfect if you're a tourist there to see the sights. Everything is a short distance away. Cabs are readily parked outside. The Metro is right inside the hotel. They also offer valet parking (which is a bit pricey), but they park your car in a secured garage and offer in and out priveledges. In my experience, the room looked just like the hotel pictures. It looked like it was recently redone. It was nice, clean, and comfortable. I felt that the bathroom was adequate as well. I had a view of the atrium that I enjoyed. The only adjustment I would've made to the room would've been to have flat screen tv's. Everyone in my family agreed that we'd stay here again without hesitation. We had drinks at the bar, which were fine. We also ate/drank at the Starbucks in the lobby, which was also fine. We didn't have any complaints at all. It's a hotel for families as well as business travelers. I got a summer rate, which really made it a great deal.
